Are you searching for the perfect apple pie recipe? This American classic is deceptively simple to make-- the hardest part is peeling the apples. This page will teach you how to make apple pie, step by step!
The secret to a good apple pie is to go easy on both the sugar and the spices, to let the natural goodness of the apples come through. Don't slice the apples too thinly, as you don't want them to cook down into applesauce, and make sure to use fresh crisp apples. This is one fruit pie where using frozen fruit will produce a markedly different result than if you use fresh. -

- Toss the apples in the sugar mixture.
- Place the apples in the bottom crust, mounding the apples in the center.
- Scatter the butter on top of the apples.
- Place the top crust on the pie, and crimp the edges.
- Brush the top with of the pie with milk or cream, and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Make several slits in the top of the pie for steam to escape.
